Apply by 15th Dec 23 / 🗓️19-22 Dec 2023 / 📌Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute – Rajasthan
The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research and advocacy organisation based in New Delhi. CSE researches into, lobbies for and communicates the urgency of development that is both sustainable and equitable. The scenario today demands using knowledge to bring about change. In other words, working India’s democracy. This is what we aim to do.The challenge, we see, is two-pronged. On the one hand, millions live within a biomass based subsistence economy, at the margins of survival. The environment is their only natural asset. But a degraded environment means stress on land, water and forest resources for survival. It means increasing destitution and poverty. Here, opportunity to bring about change is enormous.But it will need a commitment to reform – structural reform- in the way we do business with local communities. On the other hand, rapid industrialization is throwing up new problems: growing toxification and a costly disease burden. The answers will be in reinventing the growth model of the Western world for ourselves, so that we can leapfrog technology choices and find new ways of building wealth that will not cost us the earth. Our aim is to raise these concerns, participate in seeking answers and in pushing for answers, transforming these into policy and so practice. We do this through our research and by communicating our understanding through our publications. We call this knowledge-based activism. We hope we will make a difference.
Rajasthan covers around 25 percent of the National Regional Capital. Thus, the state is strategically located which has helped in the development of a significant number of industries. There are about 350 industrial parks/estates/clusters in the state and more than 40,000 units in production. The environment management within an industrial area is an uphill task for the regulatory body and accordingly, measures have to be taken to make development of industrial areas more sustainable.
The state of Rajasthan has several key industries including auto components, cement, thermal power plants, agro based industries, chemicals, mineral grinding, stone cutting and crushers, ceramics etc. The industrial sectors include both air polluting as well as fugitive dust emitting industries which is an important reason for seven cities to come under non-attainment category in the state.
In this regard, CSE is organizing a four days training programme on “Developing air quality management plan for industrial areas” for stakeholders of Rajasthan. The aim of the programme is to build capacity of the participants in working on improving the air quality of non-attainment as well as other cities of the state.
